Many Green Bay Packers fans will remember where they were when the side judge ruled touchdown at the end of the game against Seattle. But one couple in Wauwatosa had no idea that their basement party would become part of history.

Lauren Stein and her husband won a contest on 540 ESPN radio that turned their basement into the broadcasting hub for the game on AM 540 Monday night.

"My husband entered a contest on the radio he didn't tell me he was entering," she said. "When we got the call a week ago, I actually thought it was a bit of a scam."

The Steins won a 72-inch television, a surround sound system, a slumber party and a live broadcast with 540 ESPN's Drew Olson and Steve "The Homer" True and former Packers tight end Mark Chmura.

No one predicted that the only thing scam-worthy would be the final play of the game.

"It was insane," Olson said. "There were two little kids sleeping. I thought we were gonna wake them up."

Despite the yelling, the kids slept through the noise.

"We had 30 people down here yelling and screaming," Olson said. "I was worried the new TV was going to get damaged."

"My immediate thought is this has to be overturned," Chmura said. Despite the officials ruling, he said this week now becomes the most critical week for the team as they work to avoid going 1-3.

"He's really gotta wrap his arms around this," Chmura said of head coach Mike McCarthy. "This is hard. This could wreck a season just because one player cannot get it out of his head."

As Packers Nation works to forget a terrible loss in Seattle, Chmura said they consider the Steins the only people who won Monday night.

The Packers will host the New Orleans Saints -- who are searching for their first win of the season -- Sunday at 3:15 p.m. at Lambeau Field.
